Li Ang-style Education

Women were made of water.

Young Kara was no exception.

Although she was a Kryptonian and had matured beyond her peers through experience, she was still just a little girl.

Tonight's events had pushed beyond her psychological defenses.

On Krypton, she had received an aristocratic education. The House of El was a prominent Kryptonian family, and unlike the House of Zod, its members were born with scientist genes.

As everyone knew, Krypton had eliminated natural reproduction and used the Codex of Life to cultivate Kryptonians directly from Kryptonian genes.

This had led to one result: a person's profession and talent were determined from the moment they were conceived.

If Kara had belonged to the House of Zod, killing someone naturally would not have troubled her at all.

But she had the genes of the House of El...

After coming to Earth, Li Ang had also protected Kara all along, preventing her from being exposed to too many dark things.

Unfortunately, this was Gotham.

"Godfather! I killed him! I pierced straight through him!"

"I didn't mean to! I couldn't control it!"

Kara blamed herself in Li Ang's arms.

She was afraid.

Killing people was against the law.

When Li Ang heard her, he was relieved instead.

Only those who feared the law would refrain from acting without restraint.

Of course, the reason Superman was a superhero rather than a supervillain was mainly because he relied on his own morals.

After all, if they wanted to trample the law, it would be far too easy for them.

So Li Ang thought it over and waited until Kara stopped crying.

Everyone needed an outlet. After that bout of crying, Kara immediately felt much better.

It was just that the gazes of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy beside her made her feel a little embarrassed.

The two women looked so astonished that Kara wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole.

Especially Harley Quinn, who wore an expression of sudden realization. No wonder they were father and daughter.

"Kara."

Li Ang turned Kara's little face toward him and made her look him in the eye.

Under the dim light, Kara's little face was covered in tearstains.

Li Ang felt his heart ache. He gently wiped away her tears, making Harley Quinn beside them jealous.

She had cried until her face was a mess too, yet Li Ang had not even looked at her!

As expected, his daughter was the most important person to him!

"Tell me carefully. What happened?"

"Godfather, I... I felt like my eyes were a little itchy tonight."

Kara tried to lower her head, but Li Ang held her face in place.

Li Ang clearly saw that Kara's eyes were somewhat "dry." Clearly, this was because it was her first time using Heat Vision, and her eyes were not accustomed to it yet.

When he had extracted Kara's abilities earlier, Li Ang had also considered taking Heat Vision.

Thinking about it now, he felt a lingering fear.

Kara's physical constitution was so strong, yet even her first use had caused such obvious aftereffects.

If an ordinary person like him gained Heat Vision... their eyes would probably be gone after using it once.

Sure enough, physical constitution was the foundation of everything.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Li Ang immediately became stern.

At those words, Kara pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "You went to work!"

"All right, and then what happened?"

Li Ang immediately gave her a head pat.

In China, patting someone's head was considered disrespectful.

But here in America, it represented affection.

Only the closest people would do such a thing.

Kara became like a docile little kitten, quickly calming down.

"Then..."

Kara recounted what had happened.

Li Ang immediately said, "All right, you were getting rid of a menace for the people. What is there to worry about?"

"But Spider-Man never kills people," Kara said softly.

Li Ang understood at once. So that was what was bothering her.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy beside them found it somewhat strange.

Still, seeing Kara relax, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ivy, you should leave first."

Harley Quinn spoke to Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy had already realized what was about to happen.

It was late at night, and this was a family of three... It really was inappropriate for an outsider like her to stay.

Still, Poison Ivy was somewhat unwilling.

She finally understood why Harley Quinn had been so invested. So being Li Ang's woman came with such tremendous benefits.

If she became Li Ang's woman, wouldn't that make her Kara's godmother?

Then she could walk sideways throughout Gotham!

Unfortunately, Harley Quinn had gotten there first.

Harley Quinn was her best friend now, but what if they fell out someday?

As Poison Ivy Pamela thought about this, she somehow found herself leaving Li Ang's home.

"With Harley's personality, she'll always cause trouble."

"Li Ang definitely won't keep her around. He nearly drove her away today."

"I still have a chance!"

Poison Ivy immediately felt more at ease.

Li Ang paid no attention to Poison Ivy's departure. Instead, he continued talking to Kara.

"Spider-Man doesn't kill people, but look at what happens. Those villains get caught, escape, commit crimes again, and get arrested again. That's all for the sake of the plot."

As a member of the new generation, Li Ang's educational philosophy was naturally not so old-fashioned.

In his previous life, he had seen Bro Shaobing online.

Bro Shaobing played games with his son while constantly pressuring him, eventually causing Little Shaobing to love studying more than playing games.

He wore a sorrowful expression while gaming, yet smiled brightly while studying...

Things like, "At home, we talk about battle records; at school, we talk about grades."

And, "You can't even get into A University, yet you want to attend Tsinghua or Peking University?"

He was practically a bottomless source of memorable lines.

In Li Ang's view, this was the correct way to educate someone.

Now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally would not suppress Kara's interests. He was even willing to communicate with her sincerely.

"For the sake of the plot?"

Kara blinked.

"That's right. Think about it. Gotham is exactly like that right now. Batman never kills anyone, so those supervillains get sent to Arkham Asylum and then released again. Has Gotham ever gotten better?"

"This only lets the supervillains act without restraint. After all, Batman won't kill them, so what is there for them to fear?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Kara fell into thought.

"For example, Harley. If Batman killed people, would she still dare to be so arrogant? She probably wouldn't even dare to be Harley Quinn anymore. She'd become a normal person instead."

Seeing the father and daughter looking at her, Harley Quinn instinctively raised her head and puffed out her chest.

"Hey!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Harley Quinn immediately objected.

"Tell me this: if Batman killed all the other villains, such as Joker, Penguin, and Scarecrow, would you still dare to be Harley Quinn?"

Li Ang asked her directly.

When Harley Quinn heard that Joker would be killed, she immediately cheered. "Sure, sure! Kill that bastard Joker."

Li Ang was left speechless. This was what happened when someone had a screw loose.

"I'm talking business!"

"Of course I'd still be Harley Quinn!"

Harley Quinn snorted. "But I'd leave Gotham."

People had to follow their hearts, above all else.

Batman was so terrifying, so why stay in Gotham?

Wouldn't it be fine to be Harley Quinn somewhere else?

"You see."

Li Ang turned to Kara and said, "So, Kara, you don't need to imitate Spider-Man completely. That's just the writers making the comics more entertaining. You need to look at reality."

"I understand now."

Kara looked thoughtful, and seemed thoroughly invigorated.
